For Use at Low-temperature
When utilizing conveyor chains at low-temperature such as in a fridge or in the cold ambiance, the next disorders may possibly arise.
one) Low temperature brittleness
On the whole, a materials is embrittled at low-temperature and shock resistance is lowered. This phenomenon is termed low-temperature brittleness, plus the degree of embrittlement differs from materials to materials.
The service restrict of a conveyor chain depends upon its specs.
two)Influence of freezing
At low-temperature, bending failure, roller rotation failure, fixing of chain, and so forth. can be brought about by the freezing of penetrated water or deposited frost during the clearance involving pins and bushings, bushings and rollers or inner plates and outer plates. These problems lead to an overload to act on the chain and drive, diminishing the lifestyle on the chain.
To prevent freezing, normally, it is advised to fill the clearances which has a low-temperature lubricant suitable to your support temperature to avoid water, frost, etc. from penetrating the respective portions of your chain. For lubrication, a silicon primarily based grease is recommended.
For Use at High-temperature
Chains strength is diminished by high-temperature environment, direct conveying of high-temperature loads, or radiated heat, and so on. The services restrict at high-temperature depends not over the temperature from the services surroundings however the temperature and materials from the chain physique.
Following conditions might arise when chains are applied at high-temperature:
one) High temperature brittleness and fracture by lowered hardness of heat treated material
2) Brittleness caused by carbide precipitation
3) Abnormal dress in by scale
four) Fatigue fracture brought about by repeated thermal shock (cooling and expansion)
five) Abnormal 
dress in due to an increase in the coefficient of friction
six) Creep fracture
7) Fracture due to thermal fatigue of welded location
8) Effects brought on by thermal growth
?Stiff hyperlinks and rotation failure because of decreased clearance ?Fatigue fracture due to lowered fitting force
9）Lubrication failure and stiff hyperlinks as a result of deterioration and carbonization of lubricating oil
Grease excellent in heat resistance include people determined by silicon, graphite or molybdenum disulfide.
For use at high-temperature, high-temperature resistance bearings and stainless steel bearings are recommended.
